It's a tug of war
We were trying to outscore each other
We could stand on top of the mountain
(It won't be soon enough for me)
We expected more
In a time to come
We will be dancing to the beat played
Pushin', pushin', pullin', pullin'
On a different drum
We will be dancing to the beat
In years to come they may discover
We were trying to outdo each other
But with one thing and another
In another world
In a tug of war
Soon enough for me
We will be dancing to the beat
But I can't let go
Though I know I mustn't grumble
But it won't be soon enough
But with one thing and another
Played on a different drum
If I do you'll take a tumble
Played on a different drum
In a tug of war
On a different drum
With our flag unfurled
And the whole thing is going to crumble
In another world
It's a tug of war
(A tug of war, a tug of war)
We will be dancing to the beat played
In a time to come
(Soon enough)
It's a tug of war
Are all about
We could stand on top of the mountain
Pushin', pushin' pullin', pullin'
Pushin', pullin'
What with one thing and another
It s a tug of war
It's a tug of war
Soon enough for me
We expected more
It's a tug of war
In another world
What the air we breathe and the life we lead
With our flag unfurled
In a time to come
No, it won't be soon enough
